Daniel Cormier is explaining why he’s against the UFC booking an immediate trilogy fight between Amanda Nunes and Julianna Pe\u00f1a.<\/p>\n

Pe\u00f1a (12-5 MMA) dethroned bantamweight champion Nunes (22-5 MMA) at UFC 269 in December of 2021, in what is regarded as one of the biggest upsets in MMA history.<\/p>\n

Following the loss, the two met again in Dallas, Texas, at UFC 277 this past July and this time it was Nunes who avenged her loss by unanimous decision and regained the title.<\/p>\n

It took no time for Pe\u00f1a to call out Nunes for a trilogy fight, but Daniel Cormier is saying, not so fast.<\/p>\n

Speaking on his ‘DC & RC’ ESPN broadcast, Cormier had this advice about a trilogy fight between Nunes and Pe\u00f1a (h\/t MMAJunkie<\/a>):<\/p>\n

\u201cThe work hasn\u2019t warranted an immediate rematch. Because if not, then every champion that loses gets an immediate rematch. It\u2019s not like that. It just doesn\u2019t work that way. Amanda got an immediate rematch, because she\u2019s Amanda Nunes. Jose Aldo didn\u2019t get an immediate rematch (against Conor McGregor<\/a>), and he was the longest-reigning featherweight champion of all time.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Continuing the UFC commentator said:<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes you\u2019ve got to move on to get back. I think Julianna\u2019s in that position. I don\u2019t know if the work that she\u2019s put on paper warrants (it). Just because she survived in the last match, I think she might have lost every single round of that fight.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Julianna

Concluding Daniel Cormier said:<\/p>\n

\u201cWho\u2019s to say that if she (Nunes) fights Ketlen Vieira, who has put together a nice win streak, has beaten two former champions, how do we know that that doesn\u2019t play out in that way? We had no idea that the gal (Talia Santos) was gonna fight Valentina Shevchenko in the way that she did. We didn\u2019t. So it\u2019s like, you\u2019ve got to give it to the next (person). I just don\u2019t think the work that she\u2019s put on paper warrants an immediate rematch.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

For now, neither Nunes or Pe\u00f1a have an upcoming fight in the works.<\/p>\n

Would you like to see a trilogy fight between the two bantamweights? Who do you think would emerge as the champion?<\/p>\n
